  Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a self-limited disease; treatment is supportive. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided early in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus. If the disease is severe or widespread (eg, vesicular pityriasis rosea), topical or oral steroids may be used. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation therapy has been demonstrated to be effective for pityriasis rosea but may leave postinflammatory pigmentation at the site of the pityriasis rosea lesion. […] Generally, patient education (eg, to avoid exposure to irritant agents [eg, harsh soaps, fragrances, hot water, wool, and synthetic fabrics], tight clothing, and scratching), coupled with reassurance that the rash will resolve, is all that is needed.

However, some dermatologists use prednisone (0.5-1 mg/kg/day for 7 days) in selected patients with severe pruritus, vesicular lesions, or the potential for significant postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, to suppress both pruritus and the exanthem. […] Consultation with a dermatologist is warranted for patients with severe pruritus or disease that necessitates systemic steroid therapy, patients who desire UV-B therapy, or patients with atypical presentations of pityriasis rosea (PR).

  Pityriasis rosea is a common skin rash. It usually begins as a large circular or oval spot on the abdomen, back or chest, though it can appear anywhere. This is then followed over the next week or two by new, round to oval lesions that appear over the trunk and arms. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months. […] Though the rash is harmless, see a skincare provider for an accurate diagnosis and help with bothersome symptoms. […] The rash goes away on its own, so treatment isn’t usually necessary; however, if the rash is symptomatic (itching), a dermatologist might prescribe oral antihistamines, topical steroids or modest exposure to ultraviolet B (at an in-office visit) or sunlight. […] There are steps you can take to make yourself more comfortable while you have the rash. An over-the counter antihistamine can ease the itching, as can cool compresses and lukewarm oatmeal baths. (Avoid hot baths and hot tubs as heat can aggravate the rash.) An over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream can be used on small areas of the skin in people age 12 and over. Follow the directions on the package. Use only gentle soaps — no deodorant soap.
